The Opower integration allows you to get energy information from utilities that use Opower.

More than 175 utilities use Opower. Currently only the following ones are supported:

• Evergy
• Exelon subsidiaries
  • Atlantic City Electric
  • Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE)
  • Commonwealth Edison (ComEd)
  • Delmarva Power
  • PECO Energy Company (PECO)
  • Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco)
• Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E)
• Puget Sound Energy (PSE)

To add this integration to your installation, you will need your login username and password for your utility website. Two-factor authentication is not supported.

Sensors

The integration adds the following sensors:

For electricity:

• Current bill electric usage to date
• Current bill electric cost to date
• Current bill electric forecasted usage (for the first few days of the bill this is 0)
• Current bill electric forecasted cost (for the first few days of the bill this is 0)
• Typical monthly electric usage
• Typical monthly electric cost

For gas:

• Current bill gas usage to date
• Current bill gas cost to date
• Current bill gas forecasted usage (for the first few days of the bill this is 0)
• Current bill gas forecasted cost (for the first few days of the bill this is 0)
• Typical monthly gas usage
• Typical monthly gas cost

Energy

Because utilities only release usage/cost data with a 48-hour delay, the integration inserts data into statistic objects. At the initial setup, the integration pulls historical monthly usage/cost since the account activation, daily usage/cost for the past 3 years, and for electricity hourly usage/cost for the past 2 months. After the initial setup, the integration keeps pulling hourly data for electricity and daily data for gas for the past 30 days to allow for any corrections in the data from the utilities.

In the configuration of the energy dashboard ({% my energy title="Settings > Dashboards > Energy" %}):

For electricity:

1. Select Add consumption for the Electricity grid.
2. Select Opower {utility name} elec {account number} consumption for the consumed energy.
3. Select Opower {utility name} elec {account number} cost for the entity with the total costs.

For gas:

1. Select Add gas source for the Gas consumption.
2. Select Opower {utility name} gas {account number} consumption for the gas usage.
3. Select Opower {utility name} gas {account number} cost for the entity with the total costs.
